<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part from the whole. It has two parts, numerator (number on the top) here, 6 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 17. A decimal is a way to represent the number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal to separate the whole part from the fraction part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and that to the right represents the fractional part.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Identify the<a>numerator and denominator</a>because the numerator (6) will be taken as the<a>dividend</a>and the denominator (17) will be taken as the<a>divisor</a>.</p>

10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 6 is smaller than 17, it can't be divided directly, so we will use decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, making 6 as 60 and adding a decimal point in the<a>quotient</a>place.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>As 6 is smaller than 17, it can't be divided directly, so we will use decimals. We will add 0 to the dividend, making 6 as 60 and adding a decimal point in the<a>quotient</a>place.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 60, we can divide it by 17. Let's see how many times 17 fits in 60.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now that it is 60, we can divide it by 17. Let's see how many times 17 fits in 60.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>The nearest multiple of 17 less than 60 is 17 x 3 = 51. We will write 3 in the quotient place and subtract 51 from 60, which gives 9.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>The nearest multiple of 17 less than 60 is 17 x 3 = 51. We will write 3 in the quotient place and subtract 51 from 60, which gives 9.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0 in the dividend place to make it 90, and then repeat the division process. The division process continues until we reach a satisfactory level of precision or the remainder reaches 0.</p>
